The Circadian Clock Gene Period1 Connects the Molecular Clock to Neural Activity in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
The neural activity patterns of suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons are dynamically regulated throughout the circadian cycle with highest levels of spontaneous action potentials during the day. These rhythms in electrical activity are critical for the function of the circadian timing system and yet the mechanisms by which the molecular clockwork drives changes in the membrane are not well und...
متن کاملSuprachiasmatic nucleus clock time in the mammalian circadian system.
The integration of time from gene to system levels is an exciting feature of circadian biology. In mammals, clock cells in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) generate time by an autoregulatory transcription-(post)translational feedback loop. Clock activity in the SCN neurons is expressed as activity-dependent electric signals, which are coupled to those of other SCN neurons. The SCN spreads the ...
متن کاملPhenobarbital blockade of the preovulatory LH surge: Association with phase- advanced circadian clock and altered suprachiasmatic nucleus Period1 gene expression
The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) controls the timing of the preovulatory LH surge in laboratory rodents. Barbiturate administration during a critical period on proestrus delays the surge and prolongs the estrous cycle one day. Because a non-photic timing signal (zeitgeber) during the critical period that phase advances activity rhythms can also induce the latter effect, we hypothesized that ba...
متن کاملResetting the suprachiasmatic nucleus clock.
Recent research on the cellular basis of circadian rhythmicity has stressed the importance of clock genes for the maintenance of normal rhythmicity. There have been tremendous advances in our understanding of the inter-relationships of the various genes known to generate the rhythms. We know relatively little, however, about the way animals maintain their rhythmicity under normal seasonally cha...
متن کاملPhysiological importance of a circadian clock outside the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Circadian clocks are widely distributed in mammalian tissues, but little is known about the physiological functions of clocks outside the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain. The retina has an intrinsic circadian clock, but its importance for vision is unknown. Here, we show that mice lacking Bmal1, a gene required for clock function, had abnormal retinal transcriptional responses to light and...
